The Secret Admirer (A Kim Taehyung fanfic)

17. Just one cookie

I sat in the middle of our Physics lesson, watching the clock slowly tick away. Only six minutes left before I could escape from this prison. I don't mean to brag but I'm pretty good at Science. Physics, Chemistry, Biology all of this is just a walk in the park for me. I stared out the window, watching the trees gently sway with the light breeze outside.

"Areum?" Jeong called me, slightly nudging me with his elbow.

I turned around to him, "Yeah?"

"Are you ok? You seem awfully quiet today. Is something wrong?" Concern filled his eyes as he placed my hand into his.

I smiled at him, "I'm completely fine, I was just lost in thought." I replied, staring into his bright, blue eyes.

He smiled back in reassurance and turned back to face Professor Jung again. Finally the bell rang, I couldn't wait to actually see Taehyung after all this time.

I hurriedly walked out the classroom tying to get to the doors, before two arms wrapped around my waist. Jeong rested his head on my shoulder. I tried squirming out of his embrace but he just hugged me tighter.

"Yah, let go." I whined as I tried dragging my feet across the ground but it was no use, he was just too strong.

"Wait, just a few more minutes." He said, snuggling his head into the crook of my neck.

I flinched at the ticklish feeling from his actions.

"But I have to go." I pouted at him.

"Ok, fine." He said, slowly releasing me.

"I'll walk you." He interlocked his hand with mine and lead me out the building.

"Where do you need to go in such a hurry?" He asked.

Should I tell him? I mean I don't see why not. But I don't know if it would be the right thing to do. Maybe I'll keep it to myself for now.

"Just, to see a friend." I said, simply.

A few moments of silence passed.

"You're not cheating on me are you?" He asked, smirking at me.

"No, I'm not. How could you think that?" I said, playfully hitting his chest. We both laughed at that.

I glanced at my phone, it was 5:00, I had only half an hour to get to the hospital.

"Oh shoot, I'm late. I need to go, I'll see you tomorrow." I panicked, quickly kissed his cheek and running off.

"But.." He tried stopping me but I was already at the end of the road.

"I'm sorry, I'll make it up. Promise. I love you." I shouted back.

"I love you too." After that I couldn't hear what he was saying.

I ran home as quick as I could. The pain quickly building up my feet and to the top of my legs but I didn't stop until I reached my front gate, panting heavily. I quickly changed and headed out again, my feet still hurt but I carried on walking.

Arriving at the hospital I waited for Taehyung. I slid into one of the waiting chairs, letting the throbbing in my feet ease. I couldn't help but to overhear a conversation near by me.

"You're lucky to have survived such a gruesome injury Mr. Park," The doctor said to a man with his head wrapped around in bandages, his back was turned to me.

"I just need you to sign some paperwork and then you're free to leave." The doctor spoke again.

"Thank you." The man said.
